Why do you feel certain creators don't feel married couples make for good drama in comics?
I think it’s possible to say that most might feel that way, I hear it a lot. I couldn’t disagree more.
Writing Lois and Clark together as a couple was my FAVORITE part of writing Action Comics, no question.
I think it’s possible to write a marriage badly, sure. But the concept alone shouldn’t be a barrier to good stories.

Here’s the Gail Simone GTCB Interview, if anyone missed it!
And I’M the first question up!!!
How AWESOME is THAT!? ^________________________^
I have a banquet to get to, but really want to watch this later, and will forget if I just heart it.
Finally got to watching this, and kept tearing up, because of reasons.
I feel like you need a hug, after watching it, so, here ya go!
When people cry after watching a video of me, that makes me think I chose the wrong hairstyle catastrophically.
But lots of hugs from me, too!
I know you've probably gotten scores of fan mail already, but just wanted to say that those panels in Batgirl #19 have helped me to start to be able to come out and be myself, and I think I owe you a major debt of gratitude that I can never, ever truly rep
I have gotten a ton of mail on this, but most of it is very personal, and I am not going to post those posts without the permission of the people who sent them, so thank you very much for giving me consent by separate post to re-post this direct message.
I don’t have much to say except thank you for the kind words, and that any thanks at all should go to the wonderful trans friends and writers who are helping me present Alysia without making an ass out of myself (hopefully!).
On a much bigger note, my sincerest thanks to YOU for allowing me to print this. I know that for every reader who is facing a struggle, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, out there who are facing a similar battle. I know it has helped me many times in the past just to know that there are others out there who share my situation and are progressing on their path to happiness.
When I was a kid, I lived in the boonies on a farm, with no television, in a very redneck area. I had to find people to believe in in books and comics, and I can’t count the number of times since then that a work of fiction has been more helpful to me than anyone I knew in my actual life. I am delighted that this book held a special meaning for you.
You’re not alone. I received a lot of notes like this. Other people are going through this same process, and I know a bunch of them read this Tumblr and I’m positive they will be there to help if you need it, as they have been for so many others.
I wish you every success and all the love in the world.
Do you think Huntress will ever be a Bird of Prey again? I hope she will. I loved her, Babs and Dinah together.
Me, too, but I have no idea what is going to happen in Bop. I do like what I heard from Christy Marx, though, she seems to have a fine grasp on what she wants to do.
What traits do comic book publishers look in a writer? What should a writer put in his/her portfolio? Thanks you for answering.
Anything comics. It has to be comics, unless you have just a huge, impressive resume in some other kind of creative writing. If you have a serious film or prose background success, you can bring that to the table, but what they want to see is comics. They need to see that you understand the vocabulary and mechanics of panel storytelling.

Nicola Scott was asked what her favorite scene of all time was that she had drawn, and she immediately said this one.
I’m pretty proud of that!
I have a dilemma. I am near third eye comics, they are my favorite comic store and i am a huge fan of yours. on the other hand i am working on a giant paper for my graduation for the next 2 weeks. Would it be rude to ask you want time you'd be at the st
I will probably not be back in that area for a good long time, I’m trying to spread out my appearances geographically and not repeat myself much.
But I think I’m there all day, I believe from like 9:00 to 4:00. You can’t make it during that window of time?
What's the point of bananas?
Awesome question, bro!
